With the new AMI meters, water consumption information will be collected wirelessly over a secure radio frequency by the water utility. Since AMI meters collect water consumption information around the clock, customers will have the convenience of checking their current water use any time through a secure web site. With this knowledge, they will be able to adjust their consumption habits, and/or identify leaks before the bill arrives. AMI meters will not transmit any personal information or interfere with electronic or medical devices.

An approved contractor, Pedal Valves, Inc., will come to your residence to replace your meter. The existing water meter will be checked to verify that water is presently not in use. If no water is being used the meter will be replaced. There will be interruption of service for approximately 30 minutes during the change, but after that it will be the same quality service that you’ve come to expect.

No. Your yard has a Utility Easement which gives the Utilities the right to access their infrastructure. One of the goals of the AMI program is to reduce the number of times we need to access your yard, but our crews and contractors will still need to access the water infrastructure from time to time.

Water meters can last decades, however, accuracy always declines regardless of the water meter brand. Water meters slow down as they get older. Hallandale Beach complies with industry standards which encourage water utilities to replace meters every 10 years.

Meter replacements will begin in August 2014 and it is expected to take one year to replace all the water meters in the North Hallandale Water Utility distribution system. In most cases the transition will be completely transparent and will not affect our water customers. The work will be performed during normal working hours of 8:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.

In most cases, it’s a simple procedure that will require about 30 minutes to replace a water meter. The entire project will take about 12 months to replace all of the water meters in the Hallandale Beach distribution system.

Not necessarily. The new meters will simply record water consumption more accurately. In some cases a customer may see a water bill increase, which would be an indication that the old meter was underreporting usage. The new AMI meters will ensure accuracy for all the water service customers in the Hallandale Beach Water Utility distribution system from this point forward.

In most cases it will not be necessary for anyone to be home. The majority of the work will take place near the street in the meter box. If you have any questions or concerns, contact either Pedal Valves, Inc. at (786) 763-3154 or the water utility neighborhood coordinator at (954) 457-1633.

The new meters will include an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology that will save labor time, prevent any recording errors, minimize wear and tear on vehicles, and minimize the need for the water utility to go on the private property of customers. Hallandale Beach Water Utility will be able to bill more accurately and efficiently for water usage and potentially allow water line leaks to be identified earlier by analysis of data collected.

It will take a full year to get the entire Fixed Network infrastructure in place to enable the collection of the wireless reads. In the meantime, meter readers will still need to come read your meter each billing cycle.
